The fourth concern was personnel. Needs identified
included additional staff—supportive, technical and
professional; discontinuation of the practice of
allotting public school librarians in classroom-teacher
allotments, recognition of the value of active,
informed and dedicated librarians, well-trained staff,
efficient, informed administrators and library
trustees.
In summary, these reports seem to indicate that
people believe that better ways of informing the
public about library services, along with more
money, books, materials, staff, buildings, and library
time, are nil necessary to improve library services.
There seemed to be general concensus that these
meetings were well worth the time spent in them,
that they raised the awareness level of the partici-pants,
and that they identified some needs and con-cerns
of, and some satisfactions with, our current
library resources.

Isabella Cannon, Mayor, welcomes Conference participants to
Raleigh.
STATE CONFERENCE
From the moment Mayor Isabella Cannon
welcomed the delegation to the North Carolina
Governor's Conference on Library and Information
Sciences to the final selection of delegates for the
White House Conference in Washington, DC, in
November, 1979, there was clearly more discussion of
library and information issues across traditional type
of library boundaries than has been seen in the state
in many years. Governor James B. Hunt challenged
the delegates to develop recommendations for
meeting the needs of all North Carolina citizens
wherever they are located. He suggested that North
Carolina would have had a conference whether or not
there was a White House Conference, for North
Carolina wants to lead in planning for the future
needs of its citizens. The Governor also identified
three themes of this administration to which the
delegates might wish to relate their recommen-dations:
The Reverend Jim Hampton, Invocation.
1) the opportunities for raising a new generation
and providing that generation with talent and
expertise,
2) the need for balanced growth throughout the
state, and
3) the need to make governmental institutions
work effectively for people.
Planning is essential for getting the most out of each
dollar and the Governor hoped the delegates would
address seriously the question of how North Caroli-nians
can wisely use the resources they already have.
Governor Hunt raised a further question about the
access to school and public libraries through
cooperative projects and he talked about access of
each citizen to the publications of his or her govern-ment.
He mentioned also the need for stronger citizen
participation in the operation of schools and libraries.
He reminded the delegates of the substantial
strength North Carolina already has in research
libraries, but these resources were not enough if
Governor Jim Hunt charges delegates with responsibility for de-veloping
recommendations.
